About

Reel… Fishing equipment came about while I was running a charter vessel out to Gt Barrier & The Mokes while chasing the biggest fish of each species in extreme conditions. We were tired of losing fish trying to land them with inferior gear so we started to experiment with our own ideas. The concept of a backbone for strength was developed into the designs we make today. The patented stainless backbone that all Reel… equipment has routered into the handle ensures that you will land your fish no matter how large.

All Reel… fishing equipment is hand made with NZ Rimu soaked in Raw Linseed oil to prevent splitting & to shed water, 316 marine grade stainless steel wont rust & NZ braid from suppliers who also supplied several Americas cup teams. There are no screws or bolts to rust or come loose or break.

Reel… equipment was put to the test by commercial long liners fishing for Blue Nose & Hapuka. They were told to be very hard on the equipment using it day in day out in the very brutal working conditions that is deep sea long lining. The gear came through with flying colours landing fish way above the classes they were designed for.

Reel… serious fishing equipment is guaranteed for 10 years in normal use. If you cut or damage the bindings then send it back & we will rewhip it free of charge just postage & handling.

 

Endorsments:

The workmanship on the Reel… gaffs & nets is incredible, not only are they almost indestructible, the native timber, quality stainless steel & hand bound grips means these items sit proudly as a centre piece on my boats. If you want the best for your boat you’ve got to go for Reel…
